A SPECIAL exhibition promoting Black History Month is touring Cheshire West and Chester.

The exhibition is organised by Cheshire, Halton and Warrington Race Equality Centre and was officially unveiled at the Countess of Chester Hospital.

Its next stop is Ellesmere Port Library where it is on show between November 2-4.

Council Leader Mike Jones and Equality Champion Councillor Pat Merrick attended the launch.

Cllr Jones said: "Black History Month is important because it highlights the historic achievements and contributions of black people and Muslims over the years.

"The exhibition is open to everyone and it also serves as an educational experience.

"There is growing awareness about this important month and Cheshire West and Chester Council is extremely pleased to host the exhibition in Winsford and Ellesmere Port."
